Make sure the property is in a good location and cashflow positive after your PITI.

.- Are there websites where I search for a furnished place for a few months for adequate money?

If they indicate they will leave a positive review, the survey will direct them to the proper OTA to leave that positive review.If they indicate they will leave less than a 5-star review, trigger an email to the host/assistant for immediate follow-up.

The loan approval is based on the property’s cash flow—so as long as the rental income covers the mortgage, you’re in a good position.

A tenant that I’ve had for about 5 years emailed me tonight with a ESA letter from a mail order website.

For me if someone has a negative review I typically consider something else, if its positive then I would continue to do my own research but do not really go off of others.

Facebook Marketplace/Craigslist: Sometimes, you can score great deals on gently used, high-quality furniture that’s built to last.Local furniture outlets: Some cities have outlets with overstock from larger brands at reduced prices.Minoan: This website is free and offers discounts from higher end brands like west elm, crate&barrel, polywood and 150 other brands.

But... the market is very, very tough right now, and what I tell everyone in your position is: if you're serious about it, you have to pick a market, go to it in person, and be willing to spend time in it in person, building a network and getting to know it. 

Apartments.com leads are usually pretty good as well but I don't get as many leads there as I do the other two websites.

(sounds like you're in a good position!)
